What puts you off about IoT Services?

There's AWS, Google, adafruit.io - what makes you roll your own or not use these services, or do you use these services? Add a comment below.

    To be fair, I should add that these services do make a lot of sense for startups needing to get off the ground quickly. These services also provide the crazy kind of scalability that could be hard to pull off with a small team.

     

    I tend to roll my own because a) I already have web hosting for other reasons, so this piggy backs onto it for free, and b) I've been building things like this for many many years so a php script is super easy to throw together.

     

    For those new to this, and without the web space available - I would still recommend learning to build it yourself, and maybe setting up a local server to host it. This can be easy on a Raspberry Pi, or you can install something on your regular computer.

     

    Cheers,
